The Harmonica Primer Deluxe Edition by Tom Wolf is designed for the beginning harmonica player. This course starts by teaching proper hand positions, mouth positions, blowing & drawing. You’ll quickly learn more advanced concepts like scales, chords, double stops, vibrato, trills, cross harp, and bends. After covering techniques, you will learn how to play songs like Amazing Grace, Oh When the Saints…, and Will the Circle Be Unbroken. All songs are demonstrated at two different speeds (slow for practicing and performance tempo).
